Concert news: It's gonna be Fun at Roy Wilkins in January

Power-pop trio Fun will return to St. Paul Jan. 23 to headline Roy Wilkins Auditorium in downtown St. Paul.

Tickets are $29.50 and will go on sale at noon Friday, Oct. 26, through Ticketmaster.

Formed in 2008, Fun took off earlier this year with "We Are Young," the first single off the band's sophomore album "Some Nights." It quickly earned comparisons to Queen, and after it was covered on "Glee," the song shot up the charts. It hit No. 1 everywhere from Austria to Iceland and has sold more than 5 million downloads in this country alone. The band's follow-up single, "Some Nights," also has performed well around the world and hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. -- Ross Raihala
